Support

Russ Pankonin, co-publisher of the Imperial Republican, wrote in support of the amendment arguing that the first term of a state legislator's career was spent "learning the ropes" and that constituents benefited from that experience in subsequent terms. He further argued that voters are not giving up term limits by expanding them because they can still vote anyone out of office after their first or second terms.[3]
